QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

"While maintaining optimal function in elderly members is a top priority for payors, there are significant payoffs from these efforts in decreased utilization of ERs, SNFs and hospitals as well as an improved beneficiary experience — metrics that matter in new patient-centered delivery models such as the medical home and accountable care organizations (ACO)."
